Question

What Are the Causes of Newborn Sleepiness?

Answer

Newborns are particularly sleepy, and it’s normal for them to sleep a lot. In the first three months, they typically eat and sleep, allowing them to grow rapidly. Later on, they start to play a bit more. This is a normal physiological need. It’s advised not to worry; it’s best for the baby to eat and sleep well. If you’re still concerned, you can take your child to a pediatrician to rule out other possible diseases. Considerations include fever, hypoglycemia, anemia, and intracranial infection.
